I have an appliance problem. When it it comes to electric devices equipped with sharp blade to break down big pieces of food into smaller pieces or liquids, I have way too many. Well, let’s rephrase that. My husband says I have way too many. I think I have just the right amount, and can think of one or two more that would will in some gaps.

I have the stick blender for butternut squash soup and hot things that I don’t want to transfer out of the pot. But not everything can be blended in a pot, so…

I have the food processor for chopping and pureeing, except sometimes I have too small of a batch that it just get whizzed around the bowl like crazy without actually getting pureed, which means…

Of course I’ve got the high powered blender with big and small jars because I make cookie dough dip and tons of these…

This Banana Chocolate Pistachio Smoothie is thick, creamy, and oh so naturally sweet and delicious.

Some people like their smoothies to have more of a fruit slushie consistency. I’m all about the milkshake texture, and this chocolate smoothie recipe totally has that. I dialed back the cocoa powder from how chocolaty I typically like my smoothies so that the pistachio flavor comes through. The pistachios also add a bit of richness, along with some additional protein and fiber to make this smoothie more satisfying. The creaminess first comes from the banana, because blending a frozen banana into a smoothie is almost like the ice cream in a milkshake in how it adds a thickness along with the creamy goodness. And what else do I always put in my smoothies?

Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk, of course. By using Silk Unsweetened Nutmilks, you get that creamy smoothie you love without adding any dairy or cholesterol, and with few calories. And of course Silk is always free of artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, gluten, casein, eggs, peanuts, and MSGs.
